Potty Humor @ Green Bean Coffee House

Green Bean Coffee House in downtown Greensboro on Elm Street actually encourages its patrons to write on bathroom walls. They also insist that the chalked words remain family friendly. This chance for self expression is all great fun-- unless someone is waiting desperately to use the restroom! We resisted writing on the walls because we were anxious to get back to drinking our great cup of coffee! This coffee shop is known as a downtown community center because of all the art exhibitions, concerts, and gatherings that take place at the Green Bean. We've featured it before ( here and here). We've also featured toilets before, here! Let's play "where's Waldo." Time yourself and see how long it takes you to find the quote, "All women are beautiful except Joan Rivers."

Thanks, Dina.
We're starting to take these Weekend Reflections very seriously. When we first started we were lukewarm about "reflections" and realized we usually tried to avoid them. The is a case where the meme has made us better photographers. Finding a quirky reflection for Saturday is invigorating!

About 28 years ago a truckstop in Lincoln, AL was remodeling the bathrooms and had the guys using the gals for a couple of weeks. Now the guys had some pretty rough 'stuff on the walls...we had NOTHING on the gals! I actually blushed at some of it!LOL

Jane, we don't know who said/wrote the Joan Rivers quote, but in the photo it is located in the upper middle where the pink meets the black. If you click on the photo itself, it will enlarge and you can have an even better view of the graffiti in all its glory.

Great wall! I love places that not only "allow" but encourage art!
One of DHs friends had a collection of Sharpies in the bathroom of his Kustom Car shop and over the years it has become a major work of art with many famous and now gone Hot Rodding Icons leaving a note ,drawing or just a signature. Nobody could resist!
Have a great weekend~

O_o : this is a strange way of decorating a bathroom... But it seems quite practical, since people love to let open messages in those public places : here they seems to be easily eraised to be changed...
